PLENCO CSR Initiative
Sustainable Practices,
With a Constant Eye On Excellence
MANUFACTURING RELIABLE, QUALITY PRODUCTS
The first of Plenco’s Four Pillars is Innovation. This is
not accidental, but rather a purposeful recognition
of innovation’s central role in Plenco’s mission and
identity.
We are aware that our value to our customers
is only as good as our ability to adapt to their
changing needs and the evolving needs of a wider
marketplace.
Plenco is a place of research, striving and
creativity. Our facilities include state-of-the-art
laboratories for new product development and
research related to the specific needs and requests
of our customers.
The
Polymer Science & Technology Laboratory
and the
Materials Engineering Laboratory
provide our organic and analytical chemists,
chemical engineers and mechanical engineers with
the proper space and equipment for ensuring that
our product offering never remains static.
We have committed considerable resources to
technical adaptations, changes and new resins
that meet current industrial needs.
The Polymer laboratory is staffed by Ph.D. organic
and analytical chemists who, in collaboration with
our customers, test specific ideas, optimize tech-
niques and provide finished resins.
Our Materials Engineering Laboratory is staffed by
chemical and mechanical engineers who conduct
finite element analysis, design of experiments and
new product development.
Plenco’s
Maintenance Department
is one of the
largest operational groups in the company and
dates back to the 1960s, when processing equip-
ment was installed and customized largely by
Plenco’s in-house engineers and electricians.
The Plenco Maintenance Department, which in-
cludes extensively trained and experienced per-
sonnel, is essential to keeping Plenco’s highly
actions
